Endorsed by the Republi.
cans of Ohio
AS PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE,
Declaration of the PlatfOrm-FO-
raker Accepts the N0mina-
tiOn for Governor.

C)mmltteeS on CfeuentlalS ana rulei
were adopted, and Governor Charles
Foster, chairman of the committee OF
resolutions, read the platform.
THE PLATFoRa
Begins with a strong protective tariff
plank. The Ohio Democratic platform
of tariff for revenue only, is strongly
denounced. The resolusions urge Con
gress to pass a law to protect tht
United States from the inroads o
Anarchists, Communists, Polygamists
fugitives from justice, dependent pau
pers and all others who seek oul
shores to war upon society.
The platform says on the labor ques
ton that the condition of those who
labor in the North cannot be main
tanned or improved so long as those
who labor in the South are wrongfully
deprived of their rights and powers as
American citizens. The platform next
declares: "We have placed the war,
with its hates and revenges, beyond
us, but the settlements of the war are
irresistible and must be respected hon.
ored and observed in every part of the
Republic"
Such duties on wool as will secure
the American market to American
producers are demanded. Liberal
pensions to soldiers and sailors, ade-
quate appropriations for improvement
of national waterways and national
aid to education are favored and if too
much revenue be collected to meet
public needs, the first step SHOULD be
the abolition OF the internal tax on
AIperican-grown tobacco.
The resolutions further declare that
public lands should be sacredly held
for the benefit Of actual settlers, and
advocate proper enforcement of the
civil service law and condemn "the
false pretenses of President Cleveland's
administration regarding it," SYM
pathy for efforts to secure home rule
for Ireland is expressed. The action
of the President in vetoing the pen
sion bills and the spirit manifested to-
wards disabled soldiers is condemned.
His veto OF the dependent pension bill
is characterized as unjust and mn
merited.
Regarding the liquor traffic, the
party pledges themselves to such fur
ther legislation as may be necessary
to keep abreast of an enlightened pub
lie sentiment ON the question.
In conclusion, the platform pays a
tribute to the unf ltering loyalty and
long services of John Sherman, whose
genius and patriotism are stamped
upon the statutes and constitution o{
the country, and presents his name to
the people of the United States as n
candidate for the Presidency, assur-
ing them of hearty and cordial sup
port and beliving his nomination will
be wise and just one.

vention for the, honor of presiding
over it and congratulated the, MEM
bers on the encouraging prospects for
Republicanism in the State and
nation. He eulogized Foraker and
declared that the latter deserved both
his popularity and his denomination
as he had fairly earned both. Con-
tinuing, Sherman said: "More than
that, Governor Foraker prevented the
Democratic President from surrender
ing to the Confederates the flags and
